I have fallen off of the "banded wagon". I'm trying to get back on. I was banded in May 2008. I lost about 60lbs and have just recently started gaining. I haven't been eating correctly and wanted so advice on how to get back on the wagon.

Hello All, I was just banded on May 21, Wednesday. I have been experiencing tightness in my chest. I could think of several reasons why but I want to know what have your past experiences been? I think I could have pulled a muscle. I also think it could be gas. Someone said my body is getting used to the "new " stomach. I need to know how to stop it. Any suggestions? I hurts to the point where I can't wear a bra because it is cause shortness of breath and pain. Any suggestions? Also, I have no preexisting chest/heart issues. More detail: The pain is mostly between my breast. It is usually triggered by movement or deep breathing. It's more like soreness or tighteness than pain. If it were pain I would have gone to the hosptial already. So i guess it feels more like tightness or soreness.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will try the spirometer, the tea and the heating pad.
